On the outside stairs,
You realize
The edifice isn’t much –
Knowing others might
Have it worse is
Scant consolation, indeed
ambience of joy
made from sunshine
and secrets brought from the dark
together, they run:
winter’s children,
feeling the joy in movement
in a pullover
reading a book
and loved more than she could know
Much she’s seen, oh, yes —
But horror’s not
Unbeatable, it would seem
Ghost of lovers past
Stays for awhile
Strums a few heartstrings, then leaves
